Mattmc Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Some horrible news for Paul last night. If anyone can take time to read, share or donate to help it would be greatly appreciated. Stair Park was the venue of a a freak occurrence on Saturday the 29th October, when popular Stranraer FC player Paul Woods was seriously injured from an innocuous challenge which left the winger needing oxygen, as well as being stretchered off the park and taken to the local hospital. Affectionately known as “Woodsy” by everyone at Stranraer FC, Paul is one of the most genuine and pleasant people to come through the front doors of Stair Park. Paul has unfortunately since been informed he has suffered damage to his ACL, MCL and PCL - and now faces an operation on his left knee to ensure a complete recovery of his future mobility. This operation is going to cost £9,000. We, as a a Fundraising Team, decided to do what we can to help raise the funds needed for Paul’s operation. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/steven-hardie-1?utm_term=3mA5naMPz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Don't clubs cover the cost of operations (usually through their insurance cover)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Blackwell Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Full time professional clubs with players on long term contracts might do. Skint, part time clubs whose players are on one year contracts don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 That's a very sad occurrence indeed, and I wondered why he was absent last Saturday. I wish Paul Woods and the fundraising efforts every success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s not feasible for part time clubs to opt for insurance that covers operations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
